I wanted to share a little update: I’m no longer taking on new doula clients. Being a birth doula has been one of the greatest gifts of my life. I’ve met so many beautiful families, witnessed so many powerful moments, and I’ll always be grateful for the experiences and connections it has brought me.

Even though I’m not planning to attend births beyond spring of 2026, I’m still here to support growing families in other ways through…

massage, prenatal and postnatal bodywork, and holding space for moms in this tender season.

This isn’t goodbye, just a new chapter. 💜🪷 Stay tuned! Exciting announcements ahead!!

Bringing this oldie but a goodie back around!

💐 This is a representation of cervical dilation during labor from 0-10cm.

💐 Visualizing this guide can help encourage the body to open naturally!

🌸Stages of Labor:

1️⃣ Early Labor: 0-3cm, lasting approximately 8-12 hours
🪷during this stage try to rest and engage in all the comforts
🪷eat and stay hydrated!
🪷distractions such as movies, walking, Miles Circuit, rolling hips on birthing ball, etc.

2️⃣ Active Labor: 4-6cm, lasting approximately 3-5 hours
🪷call your birthing team in or head to the hospital
🪷utilize breathing techniques, counter pressure and position changes
🪷continue to stay hydrated but be sure to empty bladder frequently which alleviates pressure

3️⃣ Transition Phase: 7-10cm, lasting approximately 2 hours
🪷this is the hardest phase BUT the shortest
🪷continue with comfort measures and hydration as in active phase
🪷communicate the urge to push to your care team

A good massage doesn’t just loosen your muscles, it shifts your whole system. 💜🌬️ Your breath deepens. Your mind quiets. Your body remembers what calm feels like.

Massage activates the parasympathetic nervous system. Slowing the heart rate, deepening the breath, and easing muscle tension. It’s a full-body recalibration from the inside out.

Give your body the care it’s been asking for. Book your appointment at the link in bio.

Powerful reminder here from .billchun 💜 Your birth experience should be yours. You deserve to feel supported, respected, listened to, and cared for.

Hiring a doula shouldn’t just be a luxury. Doulas play a powerful part of making sure you feel heard, respected, and empowered.

Evidence-based care matters. Doulas matter. Your birth story deserves that kind of care.
